The Four Pillars of Investment Management

“Our investment philosophy is rooted in the “Four Pillars of Investment Management,” aimed at making informed investment decisions that maximize returns, minimize risk, and achieve long-term financial success.”

– LOU LIBERATORE, CFA

Our Investment Planning Approach

PRINCIPLED DECISION-MAKING

Our methodology encompasses:

  • Commitment to rigorous research and analysis – disciplined, data-driven decision making.

  • Minimization of tax and cost friction – keeping your money where it belongs, with you.

  • Application of portfolio construction fundamentals – building well-diversified, risk-managed portfolios designed for optimal performance.

  • Customization – tailored solutions crafted with precision to address your requirements.

GROUNDED IN THEORY & EVIDENCE

Our approach is grounded in:

  • Disciplined adherence to research, reason, and evidence.

  • Identification and tactical exploitation of market inefficiencies for risk-adjusted returns.

  • A steadfast commitment to your conviction when others panic and make impulsive and reactionary choices.

BIG-PICTURE THINKING, NUANCED FOCUS

Our analytical framework integrates:

  • Macro-environmental factors like inflation, interest rates, growth, and secular trends around returns across asset classes and industries.

  • A bottom-up approach focused on revenues and margins, cash flow and growth projections, existing competitors, and potential new entrants, identifying risk factors and their potential impact over time.

AN ADAPTABLE APPROACH

We maintain flexibility by:

  • Avoiding investment dogma — considering alternative viewpoints or adapting to changing market conditions in relentless pursuit of value, wherever that leads.

  • Agile thinking — embracing new ideas, perspectives, and feedback, incorporating collaboration and an iterative approach to problem solving.

  • Staying curious — fostering creativity and growth, enabling learning, and enhancing critical thinking.
